Protective clothing - Garments with permethrin as-treated articles supporting the protection against tick bites
This document formulates requirements for garments that support the protection against tick bites. The document applies to all types of garments where protection against tick bites, which is provided by garments as physical barriers, is reinforced by industrial treatment with the biocide permethrin prior to confection
NOTE Untreated garments covering the torso, arms and legs and feet offer some protection against tick bites but are insufficient under high exposure to ticks, which can crawl over the fabric to reach bare skin and bite. Garments that comply with this document and cover at least torso, arms and legs counter ticks from crawling over the fabric to reach bare skin and bite; such garments thereby provide substantial additional protection.
Schutzkleidung - Mit Permethrin behandelte Schutzkleidungsstücke zum Schutz gegen Zeckenbisse
Dieses Dokument formuliert Anforderungen für Kleidungsstücke, die den Schutz gegen Zeckenbisse unter-stützen. Das Dokument gilt für alle Kleidungsstückarten, bei denen der von den Kleidungsstücken als physikalische Barriere gewährleistete Schutz gegen Zeckenbisse durch eine industrielle Behandlung mit dem Biozid Permethrin vor der Konfektionierung verstärkt wird.
ANMERKUNG Unbehandelte Kleidungsstücke, die Torso, Arme, Beine und Füße bedecken, bieten einen gewissen Schutz gegen Zeckenbisse, sind aber bei hoher Exposition gegenüber Zecken, die auf dem Textil umherwandern können, um zur bloßen Haut zu gelangen und zu beißen, nicht ausreichend. Kleidungsstücke, die diesem Dokument entsprechen und mindestens Torso, Arme und Beine bedecken, vereiteln, dass Zecken auf dem Textil bis zur bloßen Haut umherwandern und beißen können; derartige Kleidungsstücke bieten damit umfangreichen zusätzlichen Schutz.
Habillement de protection - Vêtements de protection traités à la perméthrine favorisant la protection contre les piqûres de tiques
Le présent document formule des exigences relatives aux vêtements qui contribuent à la protection contre les morsures de tiques. Le présent document s’applique à tous les types de vêtements où la protection contre les morsures de tiques, qui est assurée par les vêtements en tant que barrières physiques, est renforcée par un traitement industriel au moyen d'un biocide, la perméthrine, avant la confection.
NOTE Les vêtements non traités couvrant le torse, les bras, les jambes et les pieds offrent une certaine protection contre les morsures de tiques, mais sont insuffisants en cas d’exposition élevée aux tiques, qui peuvent se déplacer sur l’étoffe afin d’atteindre la peau nue, et la mordre. Les vêtements qui sont conformes au présent document et qui couvrent au moins le torse, les bras et les jambes empêchent les tiques de se déplacer sur l’étoffe afin d’atteindre la peau nue et la mordre ; ces vêtements fournissent par conséquent une protection supplémentaire conséquente.
